Job description

Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world‑class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

As the API Product Lead at Harvey, you'll own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Harvey's APIs: the way law firms and in‑house legal teams integrate with and build on top of Harvey’s platform.

You'll turn customer demand into a product that customers can adopt, build on, and capture value from. You'll balance new capabilities against the reliability, security, and scale that production builds on Harvey require.

What You'll Do

You'll define and drive the product vision and roadmap for Harvey's APIs, aligned with company strategy and grounded in evidence from customers, usage data, and the market. You'll work closely with engineering, solutions architects, and go‑to‑market teams to ship, and you'll own the outcomes: adoption and production usage.

Day to day, you will own planning, prioritization, and roadmapping. You'll make and communicate crisp prioritization decisions, balancing new capabilities against reliability, performance, and security. You'll define the metrics that matter, including who is building on Harvey, what they are building, how much they use, and hold the team accountable to them. You'll be the connective tissue between customers building on Harvey, the teams who support them, and engineering, and you'll raise the product bar through rigorous specs, reviews, and decision‑making.

What You Have

5+ years of product management experience shipping and scaling software platforms in a production environment, with a track record of measurable impact

Experience owning APIs or developer platforms end to end, from design and documentation through adoption and monetization

Strong ability to translate ambiguous problems and deep customer needs into clear strategy, crisp requirements, and prioritized roadmaps

Fluency working with engineering on technical trade‑offs, and comfort with API design, authentication and access control, rate limits, and usage metering at a level sufficient to make informed decisions

Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to define metrics and use data to guide decisions

Outstanding written and verbal communication, and a demonstrated ability to influence and align stakeholders across product, engineering, and go‑to‑market

A high bar for quality, strong product judgment, and a "spidey sense" for where a developer or customer experience could break down

Compensation

$213,600 - $300,000 USD
